Remember how Donald Trump was going to "drain the swamp" as president? The idea, spilling out from his first campaign for president, was that Washington was horribly corrupt, that politicians and unelected government stooges were making money from their positions of power, and that even politician's families were in on the grift.

I'm left wondering how well UT was teaching before this if so many in Texas seem to think this is all fine.
Are there no alums on the Board? Because if the ones there are cool with this, they should give back their degrees.

The University of Texas System’s Board of Regents unanimously approved a rule requiring its universities to ensure students can graduate without studying “unnecessary controversial subjects,” despite warnings it could leave them less prepared for the real world.
